Same Rubin 120-150

In the autumn of 1998, the Same Rubin and its sister model Lamborghini Champion were introduced. The shapes designed by Giugiaro were quite futuristic, and especially in the cabin, a resemblance to the Deutz-Fahr Agrotron was visible.

The Rubin’s 6.0-liter engines were water-cooled and electronically controlled. The injection pump was cylinder-specific. The torque increase percentage was 35% in all models. The engines had rated power at 2000-2350 rpm and rated torque at 1400-1600 rpm. For the model 120, the maximum torque was reported in Finland as 450 Nm, and for the 135 as 485 Nm. These figures cannot be mathematically correct, so the table shows higher values reported in Germany.

The transmission was equipped, like the Titans, with a 9-speed quick shift and shift automation. There were 18+18 gears, and with creep gears, 27+27. Also, the range shift was done electrically without a clutch. The shift automation included programs for Power and Economy. The top speed was always 40 km/h.

The Rubin 150 shared many technical similarities with the Titan 150. For example, the lifting capacity was the same 8600 kilograms, while smaller models settled for 7000 kilograms. The closed hydraulic system was new technology, delivering 103 liters per minute. The external hydraulic valve block included three valves as standard, of which only one had flow control. This valve was also connected to the optionally available SDS system, which could automate headland operations. The memory could store eight settings for the lifting device, hydraulics, direction selector, and engine speed. An onboard computer equipped with radar was also available as an option. Electronics in the Rubin communicated via the CAN bus.

The cabin noise level was reported as 72 dB. Air conditioning and an air-suspended seat were standard equipment. Control of the four-wheel drive and locks was automated with the SBA system. Air suspension for the cabin and hydraulic front axle suspension were available as options. All wheels had oil-bath disc brakes.
